Bastion – isolated Linux VMs for background coding agents
Bastion deploys virtual computers for coding agents.
Developer Tools / Dev Infrastructure
Our Take
Bastion spins up isolated Linux VMs for coding agents — the idea being that you give each AI dev tool its own sandbox so they don't step on each other. It's a genuine pain point if you're running multiple autonomous agents, but the question is whether individual developers actually hit that wall or if this is really an infra play for teams with agent fleets.
Provides virtual computers (VMs) for AI coding agents, enabling parallel execution with isolated environments and JSON-based configuration templates.
Key Features
Multiple background coding agents with zero runtime conflicts, Each agent runs in isolated VM with full control of filesystem and background processes, JSON schema-validated environment templates, Self-host on Linux with KVM (local workstation to AWS EC2), CLI for template and environment management, OpenCode and SSH interfaces for direct agent access
Problem It Solves
Running multiple background coding agents simultaneously without runtime conflicts; managing isolated dev environments for each agent; manually configuring agent environments.
Target Customer
Developers building and scaling AI coding agents
Use Cases
Deploying AI coding agent development environments, Running parallel AI agents for different tasks, Self-hosted AI agent infrastructure
Differentiator
Each coding agent runs in a separate VM, giving complete control of dev environment from file systems to background processes
